Sue: Wait, what? No classes? But I signed up for them right when the lists went up... 2:00 a.m. July 15th.
Clerk: Oh! Fanny hold the phone! You're right. You definitely did sign up for those classes.
Sue: [sighs] Phew! [chuckles]
Clerk: Yeah, but then they got dropped by the system for nonpayment of tuition. You know, I think my cousin went to Dollywood once. Or was it Nashville she went to?
Sue: No, no, no, no, no. Nonpayment of tuition? No, no. I don't have to pay tuition. I'm on financial aid. Look it up. You'll see. I have financial aid.
Clerk: Oh! There you go. It says that your financial aid got rescinded because you failed to renew it. Tuscaloosa.
Sue: No, no, no, no, no. I didn't have to renew it. I have the four-year package. It came in this huge envelope. We had to use six stamps to mail it back. We were poor enough for four years.
Clerk: Yeah. But even though you got it for four years, you still got to renew it every year. You know, we send out letters and you should have gotten an e-mail. And there's the posters with Lou the Renew Raccoon.
Sue: See, that's not even a good mascot. Raccoons are hardly examples of responsible behavior. They're the bandits of the forest! [chuckles] Okay. Fine. Now we know. Let's just renew it then. Let's just renew it right now. [chuckles]
Clerk: Oh, yeah. Wouldn't that be great? But that deadline has passed. But don't worry. There's still one thing you can do to reinstate those dropped classes.
Sue: Okay, great. Phew! Whatever it is, whatever it is, let's just do it right now.
Clerk: You just need to write a check for the whole year's tuition. [pencil snaps]
